Forty-two percent of all registered voters in a particular state prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. Among Latino registered voters in the state, 53% prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. 37.8% of all citizens in the state are Latino.

In this problem, define variables as the following.

•   C = Registered voters preferring life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder.
•   L = Latino citizens

Suppose that one registered voter is randomly selected.

Are L and C independent events? Show why or why not.

A)Yes, because P(C ) equals P(C|L).
B)Yes, because P(C ) does not equal P(C AND L).   
C)No, because P(C ) equals P(C|L).
D)No, because P(C ) does not equal P(C|L).No, because P(C ) equals P(C AND L).
